Answer: It defends the rights of citizens on trial by making it legal to subpoena witnesses (force them to show up in court).
Explanation: The Sixth Amendment’s Compulsory Process Clause lets defendants compel witnesses to testify on their behalf, which limits a person’s small freedom not to appear in court in order to protect the greater right to a fair trial.
